Sprecher + Schuh

Sprecher + Schuh has provided reliable industrial control and protection solutions for its customers since 1903 when the corporation was started by 2 entrepreneurial engineers. Carl Sprecher and Heinrich Schuh combined their abilities to provide very innovative control products for their day, such as automatic switches, overload devices, high-interrupting capability fuses, and a few of the original oilbreakers.

Along with a mission for continual development and improvement, Sprecher + Schuh was equally drawn to the expansion of the industrial control market as a whole. In 1906, Sprecher + Schuh filled a key role in the formation of the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). The visionary stance of the IEC was to standardize electrical instrumentation for the global market, and ultimately facilitate the implementation of products like theirs internationally. Through efforts of the Commission, such standards as DIN and VDE were adopted with the participation of not only the producers of the products, but even more significantly, with the support of industrial personnel that used the equipment.

In the years that followed, they broadened their participation in North American organizations such as the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA), the Canadian Standards Association, the Electrical Apparatus Service Association (EASA), and the National Association of Electrical Distributors (NAED). By actively interacting with members of these organizations, they were able to educate themselves concerning the needs of the market and the needs of the individuals their products served. They created their products to answer those requirements with quality, dependability and cost effectiveness.

They have been fortunate to experience sustained growth since the first days, when Carl and Heinrich were regulars on the industrial plant floor. Their North American organization includes a large number of distributors covering the U.S.A., Canada and Mexico — all marketing the Sprecher + Schuh product line that is produced at their facilities around the globe. They credit their success to quality control products and attentive service. They would have failed years ago without these two areas of focus.

Today, Sprecher + Schuh offers a large variety of industrial control products, such as contactors, relays, starters, push buttons, switches, terminals and controllers. All of their products are crafted with preciseness and tested thoroughly for performance — far surpassing the market standards. Moving forward, they continue on the path of Carl and Heinrich, perpetually seeking innovative methods to produce solutions for their customers. It is by this philosophy that Sprecher + Schuh has continued to be the industrial control manufacturer of preference for most customers around the globe seeking quality, dependability, and a reputation they can trust.
